Invisalign® is a type of orthodontic treatment that uses clear aligners to move maligned teeth into a proper position. These custom-made aligners are transparent and removable. The average number of aligner trays worn by each patient is between 18 and 30. Each aligner is usually worn on the tooth for at least 22 hours a day and replaced after every two weeks. They are removed when you want to drink, eat, floss or brush.
Some of the advantages of these clear aligners over fixed braces include:
• Are not easily noticeable.
• You can eat all kinds of foods so long as you remove them.
• Fixing requires one or two appointments.
• Can be removed during special occasions.
Who Is the Right Candidate for Invisalign®?
Good candidates for this treatment are adults who want to align or straighten their teeth. During your initial consultation with our orthodontist, a physical examination will be conducted to determine whether Invisalign® treatment is appropriate for you. Some bite issues may need braces in order to be properly addressed. If you are simply looking for straighter teeth, however, this treatment may be perfect for you.
How Much Does Invisalign® Cost?
The cost of Invisalign® treatment varies considerably from individual to individual. For instance, very crooked teeth will require more time and resources to correct. According to the official website, the cost ranges anywhere from $2,000 to $7,000. The national average, according to the Consumer Guide for Dentistry, is around $3,500. To obtain an exact cost of your treatment, you will need to consult with our Invisalign® provider. Typically, however, clear aligners are only slightly more expensive than dental braces.
What Are the Factors That Determine the Cost of Invisalign®?
Some of the factors that determine the cost of this orthodontic treatment include the extent of treatment that you want, the complexity of your case, how long you need to have the treatment, and the provider you choose for treatment.
Does Insurance Cover the Cost of Invisalign®?
Insurance cover for Invisalign® treatment ranges between $500 and $3000. Because dental insurance cover differs from policy to policy, it’s advisable you inquire from your health insurance provider before getting the treatment.
